More than 40 people gathered Saturday to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Richmond Hill Lions Club, which was established on March 19, 1963.

Club President Ronny Gerrald had scheduled a groundbreaking ceremony for a new Lions building but inclement weather forced the ceremony to be postponed but not the recognition of the service of one Lions Club member.

Lions Club District Governor Patricia Powell presented Burnard Exley with an award for his outstanding and continuous service to the Richmond Hill Lions Club Saturday. The district governor also passed out special pins to each member commemorating the club's 50th anniversary.
